This display seems more a permanent exhibition than an ordinary museum. It is, in fact, a replica in miniature of the craftsmen's and peasants' world, with no less than 70 figures, each about 70 centimetres high, constructed over wooden frames, modelled in paper maché, dressed in traditional fabrics and mechanically animated by a motorised system. The whole display is electrically connected to synchronise the movements. The personages and scenes were designed and fabricated with technical expertise, starting from the post-war years, by Faliero Lepri, a resident of Sant'Agata, who has thus recreated a scenographic representation of the local ethnographic traditions of the past.

The exhibition unfolds in various scenes: carpenter and cabinet maker, locksmith, metal worker and blacksmith, basket weaver, an evening social gathering, courier, emporium, carter, tailor, barber, itinerant knife grinder, tinsmith, umbrella mender, tinker, shoemaker, grain threshing, grape pressing, the interiors of a rural house in the early years of the 20th century (bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, stalls, cellar, tool room, and well for drinking water).
